Super Bowl champ Rob Gronkowski casts his vote for NFC Championship game: 'They just have too much firepower'

Fox NFL studio analyst and four-time Super Bowl winner Rob Gronkowski joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the Chiefs breaking his and Tom Brady's playoff touchdown record.

Four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski knows a thing or two about championship teams. 

During an appearance on 'Fox & Friends' Friday, the former New England Patriots tight end talked about Sunday night’s NFC Championship game on FOX where the Detroit Lions will be fighting for their place in the Super Bowl – in what would be the first in franchise history.

"Everyone loves the Detroit Lions, and it would be just a cool story to see them win, but I think the San Francisco 49ers, they just have too much firepower on their roster," Gronkowski said.

"They have a complete offense, they have a complete defense. Christian McCaffery, one of the best players in the league that’s not a quarterback, has just been outstanding this year. I think San Francisco is going to pull it off."

The Lions return to the NFC Championship for the first time since the 1991 season. A win on Sunday would also mark Detroit’s first road playoff win since 1957.

But Detroit is entering this contest as the underdog.
